So, why not use that information? Why is that information being kept from collectors? I dont understand that at all.

------------

The pop reports do not include subgrades. It very easily could have been something that was not entered into that database in the early years. If it's not from Day 1, you really can't just start doing it.
Im talking about The Registry, not the Pop. Count...when you enter the serial numbers off of any card graded by beckett it will tell you the subgrades as they are in your registry. So, every card graded by beckett has this information somewhere in the beckett logs of The Registry. Now what im asking is why cant this information be used in order to create listings in the population report as to how many 9.5's or whatever are actually graded 9.5 across the board or better. This would make it so that when you have a card graded with 9.5 across the board it will become more valuable according to how many there have been graded at that level. It would be easy enough to create a code that when hovering over the numbers in each grade category could bring up a list of how many there are of each of the different levels of that grade in the total population.
10, 10, 9.5, 9.5= 2
10, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5 = 25
9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5 = 265
9.5, 9.5, 9.0, 9.5 = 754
These are all 9.5's that have different values because of the quality of the subgrades. With this implimented you could REALLY tell how rare your 10, 10, 9.5, 9.5 is in the general 9.5 population. It would be nice to have that information. Im sure this is something that MANY people want. I just dont understand why its not already in place...can you tell me the reason?
This is regarding the 1995 Topps Archives card
#103 Sandy Koufax. Why was this card ever listed as an UER?
I know that it is just a reprint, but I'm sure the original never listed his birthday as, Dec. 30th, 1995.
Why is it that cards that I have marked as "Wants" in my org, do not have yellow stars by them when I trade, and cards that have yellow stars I do not need? It's becoming a pain in the @$$ having to look at each and every card before making a trade to see weather or not I already have it or need it and if its marked properly blah blah blah.
This thread isn't for website/tech questions since I don't handle that. For that stuff, email customerservice@beckett.com or check out the section on the boards for site recommendations.
Has anyone heard when 2011 Bowman Platinum is going to release? I was told 7/27/11 but someone told me today they were releasing on 7/20/11.

Does this site have an updated listing of product releases anywhere? Seems like the mfg'ers don't have it on their sites or at least I can't find it. I've found some sites that do pretty well but it still seems like a guessing game at times. Figured Beckett would be my best source.
July 27 is the latest I have heard. Either way, there is no absolute firm date as people will rip and ship early and some places won't get it on time. (Topps's routine is to ship so it arrives on the date, typically a Wednesday.)
Chris,
Is it normal for a UD Sweet Spot Auto such as the 2009 Derek Jeter Sweet Spot Signatures card not to fit into a 130 point card holder?
I was wondering if the Ginter code parrallels will be listed soon, as well as the cipher cards. Also on this subject I pulled a redemption auto for a Nick Jacoby auto numbered AGA-NJA, but the auto listings do not have it listed. Here is a scan to verify.

To animie67, I have an auto from that set and use a 10-card hard case. It fits in perfectly.

Ginter pricing = Friday or Monday. If a card is missing send info and scan to bfleischer@beckett.com.
